FWIW, this document includes text that somewhat defeats the previous
recommendations of TCPM regarding RFC5927.
RFC5927 includes specific text indicating that the techniques described
are being documented, but that the TCP standard was NOT being changed to
include those ICMP validation checks.
This document states that:
Many implementations fail to perform validation checks on the
received ICMPv6 error messages, as recommended in Section 5.2 of
[RFC4443] and [RFC5927].
Are we fine if I remove "and [RFC5927]"? -- Because RFC4443 does
recommend that ICMPv6 messages be validated.
Sure.
I.e., the second RFC does NOT recommend changes; it documents them. This
document should be VERY carefully reviewed to ensure that it does not
undo the previous TCPM concerns about these techniques.
We can remove "and [RFC5927]" or change it to "...Section 5.2 of
[RFC4443] and documented in [RFC5927]"
That might do it, but it would be useful if another pair of eyes would
check.

Thoughts?
Thanks,
